Johnson Canyon

A drive down Bow Valley Parkway between Lake Louise and Banff led to more gorgeous scenery and Johnson Canyon.

Johnson Canyon was our last hike in Canada and an especially great one! The trail leads up the canyon through a wooded area along Johnson Creek and soon becomes a “catwalk” that is literally attached to the canyon wall. A sturdy railing prevented me from panicking!

We walked to the lower falls and when we got there discovered a cave in the canyon wall that you could get through to see the falls from an opening on the inside. It was awesome!

A little ice cream to rejuvenate us and then on to Banff. We shopped around, enjoyed happy hour in a little pub and then drove back to Lake Louise for the night.

Our 4 day pass for Jasper/Lake Louise National Park expired at 4pm yesterday so we had to get out of town quickly this morning. We joked that we were “playing on our face” – if you play 31 you know what that means!

We stopped at the duty free store and bought Kahlua and Carolina with our left over Canadian money. We got hooked on Duck Farts in Homer and are now making our own!

3:00pm – back in the USA!!!!!


Thanks for the memories Canada and Alaska!!
